Yarden Ronen-van

"My husband and I worked with Yarden for nearly two years to find our first home. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him. He guided us every step of the way with the right balance of patience and persistence. Yarden listened to our needs and preferences, and found us homes that fit our criteria, and arranged visits to view these homes. It was clear that he was helping us find the right home, not just making a sale. In such a challenging market, we felt lucky that our third offer was accepted. Beyond the purchase itself, Yarden has an excellent network of trusted contacts for everything you might need, both to execute a smooth sale and to settle into your new home afterward. We went many times to Yarden for recommendations for service providers, from home inspection to bathroom renovation, garden maintenance etc. We felt supported and confident throughout our entire home-buying process. Thanks to Yarden, our family is now happily settled in our new home. We highly recommend Yarden to anyone looking for a dedicated and outstanding real estate agent."

"Yarden went above and beyond for my family. He took the time to understand our needs and preferences and was always available to answer questions and address concerns. His knowledge of the local market and negotiation skills were invaluable throughout the entire process. Yarden to this day stays in touch to ensure our happiness in our home. We will be forever grateful for his care and support. We will certainly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. He is truly an amazing agent."

"No words to describe his passion and expertise in real estate! First home buyers and he took us under his wing and guided us to the finish line! My wife and I were so lucky, to say the least, to have the opportunity to work with Yarden!! He took his time, when we needed it and was aggressive when the opportunity presented an offer, multiple if not dozens of houses we saw and with the market we felt like it was never going to happen.. He never gave up and always had a positive attitude every time we spoke/meet. We worked closely with him for almost 2 years and finally found our dream home! There is no one else we would recommend in Westchester area. Someone after all this time we would like to call a friend and thats the type of support and compassion he brings to the table! Bonus, The amount of connections and local support he gave us upon closing helped the process of settling into our first home less stressful. Thank you Yarden for all you have done for us!

Finding Yarden felt like a twist of fate because all I had to do was send a quick message and shortly after we were on the phone talking like old friends. All while having no idea that he was about to be one of the most important people of my year. Having Yarden in your corner as your agent is a guarantee that you're about to find your dream home, be taken really good care of, all while feeling heard, seen and understood.. Yarden truly listens to you, and gets a feeling for your wants, needs, non negotiables, red flags and personality so that when he starts sending you houses, they are EXACTLY what you've been looking for. He is full of knowledge, expertise, passion and a want to find everyone the home they are in search of or to sell a home so you can move forward to your next chapter; and oh wow does he work hard to make it happen. I was lucky enough to get to do both with Yarden and I am forever grateful! He is the best and Westchester Magazine would agree with me =)!!! Send the message, you'll be really glad you did."

This was our first experience working with a realtor and we were blown away. Yarden is everything we could have wanted in a realtor and more. After just a short time, he was able to figure out the type of house we were looking for, and he found us our perfect dream home in just a matter of weeks! He was extremely patient and helpful in helping us with the home buying process from start to finish, as well as extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new home!

Yarden is a rock star realtor--knowledgeable, thorough, patient, transparent, cheerful in every interaction, a great communicator, and reliable without fail. In our quest for the perfect house, he was our guru. He paid attention to exactly what we wanted, understood our tastes, and helped us focus our time and energy on houses he knew would be real candidates for us. When we finally found The One, he helped us craft a winning bid and get everything in order for a smooth contract negotiation, closing, and move-in. In the sale of our house, too, Yarden was amazing. He had the perfect recommendations for preparing our home for the market, without ever being pushy, and he had a slate of contacts to help us get it done. In both transactions, Yarden amazingly had all the information at his fingertips whenever I called him. He kept us in the loop on every relevant conversation or situation as it arose, and he followed up on every issue and question promptlyI never had a fear that a ball would be dropped. He was a true partner to us throughout the process!

"Yarden is, simply put, the most amazing agent my husband and I have ever met. For two years, he patiently worked with us while we changed our plans from buying an investment property, to taking a break from house hunting, to buying a home for our growing family. We were so pleasantly surprised that he took the time out of his busy schedule to keep in touch with us during our hiatus, but never pushed us! Yarden is genuine, kind, passionate, dedicated, and meticulous. We are certain that if it weren't for his quick action and follow through, we wouldn't have ended up getting our dream house! We are forever grateful that we met Yarden! If you are looking for a professional who will be by your side every step of the way, who is incredibly reliable and hardworking, look no further. Thank you, Yarden!!"

"Buying a home in Westchester and in this competitive climate can be very stressful. We were blessed to have met and worked with Yarden on the purchase of our home. He met all of our expectations and more. Yarden is highly reliable, dedicated, knowledgeable, responsive, resourceful and extremely professional. Hes also fun, kind and patient. He was the perfect match for us. Yarden was always one step ahead of our needs. We were in excellent hands from beginning to the very end. It is a bonus that we also feel we gained a friend for life. I am recommending him to my family and friends. If youre looking for an amazing experience in home buying, a dedicated and reliable professional. Yarden is definitely it!"

Yarden is the BEST real estate agent we could have hoped for! Right from the start, he showed a level of care and dedication that went beyond our expectations. He started assisting us very early on, taking the time to explain each step and guide us through different neighborhoods. His extensive knowledge of the local areas was very helpful. What impressed us most about Yarden was his incredible patience :) Throughout the almost year-long process, he truly listened to all our concerns and made an effort to understand our family's specific needs. He became more than just our real estate agent; he became a trusted friend! But, he also maintained a high level of professionalism throughout our journey. We could always rely on his expertise and honesty. He helped us to find our dream home, and he kept us at ease every step of the way. Even after the closing, he continued to help us finding the right people for tasks we needed done at our new home. If you are looking for an agent who will go above and beyond, treat you like family, and make the home-buying process seamless and enjoyable, Yarden is the one to go to. We HIGHLY recommend his services.

"We couldn't thank Yarden enough! I met him randomly at an open house and little did he know he would stuck with us for the next year. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. He was there helping us through all our eye rolls and belly laughs. He was there 100% of the way without fail. We are forever grateful for the time and effort he invested in finding us OUR home for years to come."

"With news that a sudden job location change was moving my family to Westchester County, we arrived from out-of-state for a whirlwind house hunt, armed only with a recommendation for the Hillarys Homes Team. From the moment my husband and I met Yarden, we knew we were in capable hands. Yarden listened carefully to our concerns and priorities. His relaxed, can do demeanor calmed my anxiety about our compressed timeline. We were impressed with his efficiency in meeting our requests for property tours and getting answers to our questions. He uncovered far more property options than we'd expected to find in this market, and he wasnt satisfied until wed found just the right fit for our family. Strongly recommend!"

"We were outrageously impressed with Yarden's professionalism and knowledge in the realty space. In an extremely competitive market, Yarden consistently made himself available to us and provided us with valuable insights that ultimately culminated with us putting in an offer on our dream home. Yarden was extremely helpful in guiding us through the offer/buying process and his network of individuals greatly reduced our stress for these first-time homebuyers. In the end, we closed on a home that had 30+ offers and have already passed Yarden's contact information to others who are searching for their new home. We HIGHLY recommend this realtor who feels more like family to us now!"

"My husband and I had the privilege of working with Yarden during our house-hunting journey, and we cant praise him enough. From the moment we connected, his professionalism and dedication stood out. Yardens insights and understanding of the market were invaluable to us throughout the entire process. He was able to help us with all of our questions anytime and was always available to talk. Yarden also went above and beyond by providing advice and recommendations that were completely personalized to our needs. Buying a home can be stressful, but Yarden eased our fears. His calm demeanor and reassuring guidance made the process smoother than we ever imagined. It wouldnt have been possible to find our dream home without him. We wholeheartedly recommend Yarden to anyone seeking a top-notch realtor."

"Yarden was a tremendous help with our search for our dream home. We randomly met Yarden at an open house and started working together immediately. Our home search took many months, and throughout the process, Yarden was patient and always kept us focused on our wants and needs that we shared with him. When we finally found the home we wanted and received an accepted offer, Yarden took us through the process step by step. As first-time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with everything involved, but with Yardens help, everything worked out to our favor. As the home purchase process moved on, my wife and I shared to each other that we viewed Yarden as a friend. We really enjoyed working with Yarden and would tell our friends and family to work with him if they needed a real estate agent. You will be impressed with Yardens work ethic, patience, and passion that he devotes to you throughout your journey to purchase a new home."

"I am so blessed to have had Yarden work with me on finding my dream home. He was very patient and knowledgeable about the market. He would always respond in a timely manner. What I loved the most about Yarden is that he always provided me with honest feedback.Thanks to his professionalism and experience, I was able to find my dream home. Post COVID, the market was insane and thanks to his advice and guidance, I was finally able to make a decision on the right home for my family. I am definitely recommending Yanden to my friends and family in the future."

"Ive hemmed and hawed because I do not have the words to express my gratitude and my admiration for Yarden. We searched high and low for a home for over 10 months. We scoured every nook and cranny in Westchester on weekends, weekdays, holidays, and evenings. Throughout this long ordeal, Yarden was always there. Patient, persistent, pleasant, indefatigable, charming, and gracious, Yarden showed us any and all homes that we wanted to see. He always had a smile, words of encouragement, and sometimes even coffee. He enjoyed endless discussions about how we would furnish the homes and what life would be like in each and every one. He persevered when we lost bids and even when we backed out of accepted offers due to a case of cold feet. And after all that, 10 months later, Yarden found us a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood that checked all, well most, of our boxes. He then firmly and graciously got us all the way through the closing until we had the keys in our hands. I still wake up on weekends thinking we have to meet him somewhere, and although we found our dream home, I sometimes want to look some more because I miss the time we spent together. Thank you, Yarden, and thank you to Hillarys Homes. Thanks to you, we can now live happily ever after.."

"Yarden is amazing! We are beyond happy to be in our new home in Westchester and would not be here without Yarden. He is the nicest and was super thoughtful and accommodating of us and our young daughter and dog. He helped us navigate a pretty unique situation as first-time home buyers. He was a real advocate for us with the seller and provided us with a great amount of moral support and needed levity. We truly dont think we wouldve gotten this house without Yarden. If anyone ever asks me for an agent recommendation, 10/10 would recommend Yarden!!!!!"

"The experience we had with Compass was beyond anything we could have dreamed up. Hillary and Yarden are true pros. We had complete confidence in their management of the sale of our home. Hillary brought a whole team of specialists to help us navigate the process. Yarden helped us with our search to find a new place to live. He always kept our needs in the forefront and patiently and proactively helped us explore all options - even if he did not benefit. I could not recommend the Compass team more highly. They have a professional, personal customer experience as their top priority. They made us feel that our needs were the most important, they are fun and fabulous to work with and most important we are really happy with the results!"

"After helping us buy a few years ago, Yarden was the best choice to help us sell our home again! We have loved building a relationship with him and wouldnt hesitate to use him again in the future. Yarden goes above and beyond expectations and it is obvious how much he really cares about each and every client. We were so happy to share our excitement on closing day with him as he has become a friend throughout the whole process. We couldnt have asked for a more dedicated realtor who helped keep the whole process easy, on track, and running smoothly! Thank you Yarden!"
